e30 roof mount antenna mod?

[Stanley Rockafella]

sorry if this is the wrong place to post, if so, please re-locate mods

Anyway, wondering if there's a p/n for an antenna re-locate to the place the e30 m3's have it? My stock antenna works properly and all, just kinda tired of cleaning/lubing it to extend properly.

If anything, my 07 Focus has a roof mount one and I might just head out to the wreckers and pull one from a crashed car and get the body shop to retrofit it into my ride...cheaper and just as effective?

thanks in advance

M3 antenna setup

....looks all NLA to me.

But you can probably make something look good.

I suggest you refrain from drilling there....Mount an internal one or Z3/318Ti style vs drilling new holes in the body of your car.

You could just convert to a fixed antenna like the one on my car.

My slicktop came with what remained of the factory touring/M3 antenna. Someone retrofitted it for their car phone at some point. I was able to order a new one from Blunt a few years ago (around $90), but I can't speak to its availability now. To install you literally drill a 10mm hole in the roof. The antenna assembly does the rest.

I've thought about removing/filling my antenna setup (draws power while off) and connecting the antenna to the rear defrost grid.

OE M3 antenna assemblies are back. I bought one for the M3 I sold to Tom
